Greater Toronto
"Bring them to the city at the centre of it all”
With residents from more than 80 cultures across the globe, it’s no surprise
that Toronto is touted as the most ethnically diverse city on the planet.
Located on Lake Ontario, Toronto is a waterfront city, complete with its own charming islands, beaches and waterfront parks. Five million Canadians are within a one-hour drive of Toronto.
Exploring Canada’s largest and liveliest city is an exercise in globetrotting. With more than 5000 restaurants from which to choose - think Indian, Italian, Chinese, Greek, Portuguese, Middle Eastern and more - Toronto serves up a veritable United Nations of taste experiences. And that’s before you even think of treating your tour to the year-round melting pot of international celebrations, parades, festivals, theatre, sports and other entertainments that keep this city moving 24/7.
Whether it’s the Molson Indy in July, a wine fest in September, or a winter hockey game featuring the legendary NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs, your group will run out of time before you run out of entertainment options. Add to this Toronto’s fabulous theatre scene (rivaled only by that of London or New York), its internationally acclaimed museums and galleries, its big-name concerts, and its historical attractions, including the CN Tower — the city at the centre of it all really does have it all.
